Badmouth has once again been selected as a finalist for the Dottie Awards recognizing the best web sites in Northen California. This is the Seventh Annual Dottie Awards, and Badmoth is nominated in the “Weird and Humorous” category.

I won the Dottie in this category last year, and I’m not lying when I say it’s the best award I have ever recieved. Some things to note:

• Last year’s award show was the 2002 Dotties. This year’s is the 2004 Dotties. We’re missing a year somehow.
• They reduced the number of finalists from five to three. So I’m up against Rob Cockerham’s sublime Cockeyed and the boys over at Suckramento.
• Rob Berry’s cooler-than-cool site RetroCrush continues to be snubbed by the Dottie voters for some unfathomable reason.
• I am not a judge this year. The past few years, I’ve helped judge the event. Although I didn’t get to judge my own category, it probably didn’t look good to be introduced as a judge then recieve an award.

At any rate, I am honored to be nominated, and I hope I win. As a finalist, Badmouth also has a chance at the People’s Choice Award. So please click on this link and vote for Badmouth. You’ll feel good about yourself afterwards.

Thanks everyone, and I’ll see you at the Dotties.
